111: Ditching Fear-Based Discipline: How to Lead with Love and Limits with Wendy Snyder
In this episode, I sit down with Wendy Snyder, a positive parenting educator, family life coach, and founder of the Fresh Start Family program. Wendy shares her journey from feeling stuck in reactive parenting patterns like yelling, threats, and overwhelm, to creating a home rooted in peace, connection, and firm, loving boundaries.
Together, we dive into what it actually looks like to parent with empathy and strength, why ditching punishment doesn't mean raising permissive kids, and how breaking generational cycles can start with one small “yes.”
If you're craving less yelling and more cooperation in your home, this episode is packed with actionable tools and honest encouragement to help you lead with integrity, joy, and purpose.
In this episode, we cover:
- How to discipline without fear, threats, or punishment
- What “related, reasonable, and respectful” discipline actually looks like
- The power of logical consequences that connect, not divide
- How to parent strong-willed “cactus kids” with confidence and compassion
- The first steps to breaking painful generational parenting cycles
- How self-awareness and self-acceptance change everything
